COLLEGE STATION -- Keith Ford was one of the many Texas A&M players who practiced on the fields beside Kyle Field last season.
Ford was on the scout team, mimicking the role of whichever running back the Aggies would face the upcoming weekend. But when Saturday finally arrived, Ford was merely a spectator, waiting until he was eligible to suit up with the rest of his teammates.
Ford, a transfer from Oklahoma, missed the 2015 season because of the NCAA's transfer policy. But last Saturday's game against No. 1 Alabama showed why the team was eager to put him on the field this season.
